I just didn't feel this episode.
I guessed the plot from early on and honestly, I've come to expect more from this show. The whole episode was a let down and the fact it was a two parter really annoys me. There have been so many other episodes that could have used a double episode format rather then just the one twenty minute.
I also found the animation for the walking suit case unfinished.
The plotting was loose and slightly confusing and not in a good way.
it just doesn't need the glorification of a parter let alone a stand alone one.
Disappointing in a lot of ways.moreless

ADD QUOTES-
Bruce: Well, since you won't tell me what you're working on, Karl, maybe I can charm the details out of your lovely assistant?
Randa: Well... you can try... -
Alfred: Sound as if the human race will become quite expendable. Except for butlers, of course.
Batman: Of course. -
Alfred: I do wish you wouldn't be so rough with your toys, Master Bruce.

NOTES (6)
ADD NOTES-
This episode is episode 10 on the Batman: The Animated Series Volume 2 DVD.
-
The license plate on Randa Duane's auto-driving car is "RUR", another nod to the Capek play.
-
This episode marks the first appearance of Barbara Gordon.
-
HARDAC is an acronym for "Holographic Analytical Reciprocating Digital Computer."
-
William Sanderson (Karl Rossum) also played the role of sympathetic android worker J.F. Sebastian in the SF classic Blade Runner.
-
The name of the character "Karl Rossum" is almost certainly a nod to "Rossum's Universal Robots", the 1921 Karl Capek play that gave us the word "robot". Robot comes from the Czech word 'robota', which originally referred to time spend working without remuneration on a nobleman's fields -- peasants were required to do this work.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Cybertron: While Cybertron is a company in Batman TAS, Cybertron is a planet to robots called Autobots and Decepticons (among other names) in the Transformers series. Ironically, this episode also has something to do with robots.
-
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey The front of the HARDAC computer is clearly influenced by the HAL computer of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey (i.e., menacing, red-eye panel and a calm, stoic voice).
